Adorable and immaculate home in desirable Sherwood Forest, upgraded, move-in ready and much larger than it appears! Fall in love upon entering the foyer and seeing the spacious front dining room & living room which are open to one another for easy entertaining. Drenched in natural sunlight these rooms have hardwood floors, recessed lighting and a cozy WBFP w/ brick surround. The spacious eat-in kitchen features maple cabinets and all newer stainless-steel appliances (2021) including an LG French door fridge/freezer, Samsung 5 burner gas oven/range, microwave & dishwasher. Three generously sized bedrooms all with hardwood floors, white ceiling fan lights & horizontal white wood blinds share a large neutral hall bath w/ an extra-long double sink maple vanity with tremendous strorage and a white tub/shower with white ceramic tile surround. The full finished basement has a gigantic family room w/ a 2nd WBFP, a huge 4th bedroom w/ double closets & recessed lighting and there is a convenient & roomy office. Don’t miss the oversized laundry room w/ white stackable front loading Whirlpool washer & dryer, enormous double utility sink, 2nd refrigerator/freezer, built-in storage cabinetry, under stair storage plus a separate utility/storage room with even more storage space. A fabulous deck overlooks the fully fenced backyard plus the detached 2 car garage with brand new siding (2026). Meticulously maintained and loved, additional updates include a new hot water heater (2024), furnace (2019), roof (2018), basketball hoop (2009), freshly painted and many newer light fixtures. Perfectly located on a quiet tree lined street in popular Sherwood Forest which has four nearby neighborhood parks, easy access to Hwy 41, train, walking distance to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, local neighborhood restaurants, both downtown Highland Park and downtown Deerfield, choice of HPHS or DHS and the list goes on.
